    *Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*

    • @SC-mw1ue
      @SC-mw1ue 11 дней назад +7

      I agree. But the point is that it is not the proper way to have a full discussion. You need both sides, otherwise one side is just saying what they want and you take it as absolute truth. You need both perspectives and then you make a decision. That is basic critical thinking practice. Also, if this has been the format for other denominations when they have done it, then I am sorry, then that is wrong.

    • @_MountainOfTruth_
      @_MountainOfTruth_ 11 дней назад +9

      @@SC-mw1ue I definitely agree with that statement, and I have made mention of that as well. Sadly, it was like that for the podcasts in the past, just having those of whom they did not agree with about religion/faith but wanted to bring awareness to the differences of understanding on their podcast without the humiliation of being targeted by “ex-members”. There was no “ex” member there to challenge anything, just the Perry’s I guess being that “other” side of the argument. However, when it came to discussing SDA, the Perry’s did not know a lot of information on SDA. Yet, even with little knowledge, the approach shouldn’t be giving a former Adventist with malcontent bias such a large platform to spew misinformation, on many occasions. They should have sought out and waited for someone with current experience of being an active member of SDA to have discourse with. This isn’t the first time they have referenced or included this particular ex-Adventist in order to be the spokesperson for Adventism. So, while I definitely agree that both sides should have the chance to communicate their positions (that way you as a viewer can come to your own conclusions after biblical study), I believe, the position of the “former Adventist who believes that Adventism is a cult and full of lies” has been thoroughly exhausted and expressed. This is a time where “pro-Adventists” or simply just current Adventist leaders for the church should be given the same due respect and size-able platform to defend and accurately explain the meanings and teachings of all claims and concerns made known. If after given such a chance, both parties would like to conduct a conversation that is 1) respectful. 2) properly moderated without bias. And 3) with the first and foremost mindset of aiming to bear fruit within each other under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, then a complete discourse would be greatly encouraged.
      But after having not only discussing but ridiculing the SDA faith, I personally believe it is only fair that the Perry’s have a conversation with a current SDA pastor/apologist who would be able to basically commit to a biblical study examining our fundamental beliefs, who EGW truly is through her own work as well as the work of others, the measures taken to ensure than we remain fully to biblical doctrine and etc.
      Give the current SDA member the same energy. 🙏🏾💯

    As someone who values fair and respectful dialogue, I urge all Seventh-Day Adventists who support the WiththePerrys ministry to consider discontinuing their support for this channel. Please keep them in your prayers. It is evident that they are not committed to a balanced discussion, as they have not invited active, recognized, and respected SDA pastors to participate in the conversation. (I will stand corrected when the Perrys publicly correct this with the name(s) & date(s) of near future planned conversations.) Instead, they continue to produce content that damages and slanders the Seventh-Day Adventist Church by labeling it a cult. This is disappointing and contrasts sharply with their treatment of other faiths on the channel.
    Mason's repeated use of outdated rhetoric and false claims, which the SDA Church has addressed with reasonable biblical apologetics over the years, is particularly concerning. This behavior appears to be a strategy to increase social media views and revenue rather than fostering genuine understanding at this point. Seems to me as if they are just reading from exAdventist sources/books and presenting it as truth to confuse those who do not know what SDA's believe (within and out of the faith). A strategy I see here being employed quite a bit by "Thunder" in particular is the use of strawman arguments - misrepresenting or twisting subtly what SDA's believe to then refute it. This is a logical fallacy in argument.
    This is now the SEVENTH (at least that I'm aware of) video segment produced by the Perry's with Mason and "Thunder" leading the charge with falsities against the SDA church. We now know where the Perrys stand and I would strongly urge a boycott of this channel by Adventists. It is very clear what this ministry is about now.

    Since I have 40 years of experience in the SDA church, i feel like I can talk with some authority.
    I went to an SDA school from 2nd grade through 12th grade. My parents rarely missed church. They often held Bible studies at our house, and both my parents volunteered quite a bit. My father was a deacon. My brother and I were se t to an SDA summer camp. We rarely missed a Heritage Singers concert. We were SDA's of SDAism.
    Yes, I was often encouraged to read the Bible. But i can ASSURE you, that I was never encouraged to come up with my own interpretation of anything. Strictly what was supported in the 28 Fundamental Beliefs. Any Adventist who claims they don't "follow" EGW, are very misguided about whay they believe. Its right there in the 28 beliefs.
    I grew up listening to Uncle Arthur's Bedtime stories, and all the little booklets we received every week. And then we graduate to the adult Sabbath School lesson. The one passed out in EVERY SDA church in America. Not to mention all the publications like Signs of the Times, Adventist Journal, and the Recorder.
    The SDA church is very deceptive and crafty about luring people in. The Great Controversy is left everywhere in my town. It does not say who its written by. And it certainly doesn't label itself from the SDA church. In fact, many churches have changed their names to remove the SDA label. My old church is now "Dicover Life". Isn't that catchy?
    I was taught so many falsehoods. Now that im reading the Bible on my own, cover to cover, I'm shocked how many stories were either glossed over, or misrepresented. The dream that King Nebecanzzer had about the statue. I was taught that he couldn't remember the dream, which is why Daniel was so important - to tell the king his dream he "forgot", and then interpert it. In reading the Holy Scriptures though, its clear that Nebecanzzer remembered it, but didn't want to tell his men. But WHY the discrepancy???
    SDA's will SWEAR thay Jesus actually turned wayer into grape juice. And they'll quote every verse about rebuking strong drink and not being intoxicated. But will NEVER hear verses like Duet. 14:26 or Psa. 104:15.

      It’s based on Revelation 12:7 - Where it says Michael and his angels fought the dragon. We believe that that this (Michael)Jesus who fought against satan and his angels, which led to the great fall. This describes the war in heaven before Satan was sent down.

      I tried posting a link to a Bible study here but the channel won’t allow it. In the beginning Jesus was the Word, then Michael and now forever Jesus. He is the eternal Son of God and Michael is the only archangel mentioned in the Bible who seemingly does the exact same work Christ does for His people. To be clear we see Michael as a role/title for Jesus similar to Jesus’s many other titles. But make no mistake we 100% reject the idea that Jesus is not eternally divine in nature also. We do not believe as Jehovah witnesses do that Jesus is a created being nor do we agree with evangelicals that Michael is just some mysteriously mentioned head/arch angel of the heavenly host. We can agree to disagree but is this clear?

      My friends, I must respectfully say that I find your belief that Michael is Jesus quite concerning.
      Michael is a created being, as stated in the book of Daniel where Gabriel refers to him as "one of the chief princes." In the same passage, Michael is described as coming to help when Gabriel was detained by the king of Persia. This description indicates that Michael is more like a guardian for Israel rather than Jesus. Additionally, in Daniel 12:1, Michael is described as standing watch over "the sons of your people," suggesting that he is connected to a specific group rather than all of mankind. This contradicts the idea that Michael is Jesus, as Jesus is meant to be the savior of all.
      In addition, Satan is no match for Jesus, who is God. Though Michael had to physically fight Satan, ultimately Satan was defeated. Jesus, on the other hand, defeats His enemies with His words alone. This demonstrates that Satan cannot challenge God, who could destroy him effortlessly. Michael's victory over Satan actually proves that Satan is not as powerful as believed, as he was defeated by a created being like Michael.
      Nowhere in the scripture does it suggest that Jesus is Michael. Such a conclusion would only be reached if someone planted the idea in their mind. It is important to repent and turn away from this heresy.
      We must not diminish the divinity of Christ by equating Him with a created being like Michael. Jesus, not Michael, died for our sins. Jesus is capable of things that Michael is not. Even Michael bows at the feet of Jesus, recognizing that salvation is only possible through Him.

    By the way, we Seventh Day Adventists believe that Jesus Christ, The Son of God is FULLY God not a created being.
    We believe that He- Jesus Christ, is the leader over the angels because God is the leader over the angels.
    We believe that the Archangel Michael is simply yet another title and job of Jesus Christ, The Son of God. God, the Son, Michael the Archangel is the chief/ leader over the angels of Heaven.
    We Do Not Believe that Jesus Christ, the archangel Michael, is a created being.
    We do not believe that Michael is an angel.
    But He is the chief over the angels.
    Look up the meaning of the word archangel you will see that one of the meanings of Archangel is the "chief".
    In the book of Daniel, the angel Gabriel referred to Michael as (when speaking to Daniel, Daniel 10:21) as "your Prince".
    Is Jesus Christ the savior your Prince?
    Think about it. The Son of God is the leader over the angels in heaven so Archangel is just another name and title of the
    Uncreated, self existent, eternal God- God the Son.
    God, the Son has many names and titles in the Bible. For example, He is called the Prince of Peace. He is the Lamb of God. He is the Living Water. He is the Bread of Life. He is the I am, he is the savior. He is the leader over the angels called Michael the Archangel.
    Study what Michael the Archangel does in each instance in the Bible that He is spoken about. Think, can Jesus Christ do what Michael The Archngel is doing? IF you can interchange Jesus Christ in the work that Michael the Archangel is doing it is because they are one in the same.
    There us nothing sinister going on here
    God the Son is simply being called something different due to the circumstance that is being spoken of at the time in each respective Biblical event/story.
    I encourage you to study this matter prayerfully.
    Let us not strive needlessly against each other but pray earnestly and study together to be made free by the truth.
    The Lord Jesus is soon to return. Let us allow His Holy Spirit to help us to be made ready to meet Jesus in peace.

And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.” But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.”

      From a Seventh-day Adventist perspective, all truth is found in Jesus and His word. Misrepresenting our beliefs is not right because it can obscure the truth about Jesus. Our doctrines are derived from the Bible and aim to point all to Jesus and His message. We care deeply about how people view Jesus, and we strive to represent Him accurately. If the Perrys proclaimed the true gospel of Jesus, we could support that. However, correcting false representations is important to help others see the true beauty of the gospel and embrace Jesus fully.

    Things stated to change in 1888 when many the SDA church started to talk about righteousness by faith.
    Some agreed and some did not.
    The issue is that there is such a spectrum in Adventism that getting a succinct answer is tough.
    We have churches that will ordain women and some that will absolutely not allow women to even speak up front.
    Even within the church now there is a group that is anti trinitarian. They believe that the idea of the trinity has its roots in Catholicism, thus we need to go back to the ways of the original founders.

    When the standard of determination is “Christian orthodoxy and the Nicene Creed then know who & what you’re up against regardless of whether they represent the “ Black” church or Protestantism.
    It was an eye opener for me when, many years ago I visited an AME Church, that the Nicene Creed was shown on screen so that the congregation could recite it.
    Recall that before his conversion Paul was an Orthodox Jew.. educated in the “schools of the prophets” of his day
    and so against the “unorthodox” teachings of Yeshua that when Stephen preached Christ and went into vision, proclaiming to see him seated on the right hand of GOD’s throne, the unconverted Paul held the coats of the men who stoned him.
    Orthodox christianity & the Nicene Creed is determined from the Councils of Nicea with the first one being convened by Constantine.
    If & when they really want the truth in this matter, they will pray and ask GOD for it.
    And only then, through the Spirit of Truth, will they be able to discern the deeper truths of of The Gospel & the beautiful truths of The Three Angels’ Messages.😅

    Look at Fundamental belief #4
    “4. God the Son (Jesus Christ)
    God the eternal Son became incarnate in Jesus Christ. Through Him all things were created, the character of God is revealed, the salvation of humanity is accomplished, and the world is judged.
    Forever truly God, He became also truly human, Jesus the Christ. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived and experienced temptation as a human being, but perfectly exemplified the righteousness and love of God.
    By His miracles He manifested God’s power and was attested as God’s promised Messiah. He suffered and died voluntarily on the cross for our sins and in our place, was raised from the dead, and ascended to heaven to minister in the heavenly sanctuary on our behalf.
    He will come again in glory for the final deliverance of His people and the restoration of all things.”
    (Isa. 53:4-6; Dan. 9:25-27; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-3, 14; 5:22; 10:30; 14:1-3, 9, 13; Rom. 6:23; 1 Cor. 15:3, 4; 2 Cor. 3:18; 5:17-19; Phil. 2:5-11; Col. 1:15-19; Heb. 2:9-18; 8:1, 2.)”
    Jesus Christ is not a created being..He has always been eternal and is fully God. Please stop sharing this biased “Ex Adventists…”

      Yes! I will address below.
      While I understand that there are Seventh-day Adventists who claim to support the trinity, the concern lies in the fundamental beliefs of your faith. It has been reported that Ellen G. White initially did not recognize God's Trinitarian nature and based your faith on this belief. Even if some may now claim to believe differently, if the core belief of your doctrine is flawed, then there are likely other issues within the doctrine as well. If Ellen was considered a prophet, how could she have made errors on such fundamental beliefs? There are additional errors, such as the idea that Jesus is Michael or that Michael's name means Jesus, which are not supported by the Bible. It is crucial to adhere to the teachings of the Bible.

      @@ME-vi9kq I understand your sentiments towards EGW and I can definitely address things one at a time. But what I just showed you is THE fundamental beliefs that is public knowledge. This is not a SDA “current” now teaching. SDA has always supported the Trinity of the Bible, and we’re talking about the Fundamental beliefs that the official SDA doctrine teaches. I just cited #4 of the 28. There’s no EGW references there. The claim you are making about EGW, and linking it to what SDA “believed” is really often times a misleading accusation that is notoriously supported by other Christians who thoroughly have not done the research but tag along with what others say in a “poisoning the well analogy”. This same approach to EGW is similar to how atheists and Muslims attack the Bible and say it’s “Full of contradictions” but a Christian who is a defender of the faith will tell them that there are biblical applications and context that need to be considered at all times so that the scripture is not broken. So to your claim about EGW, you have first provide evidence of said claim and within the proper context (But that is a separate issue, what my comment is about is the SDA Fundamental belief, not EGW, so that’s where my argument lies). And to be very frank, if EGW writings burned up today, the fundamental beliefs of SDA would arrive at the same point…So far what you’re presenting is an accusation against SDA Fundamental beliefs, when in reality I’ve just showed you what the SDA church official belief is, and all the biblical a references for you to see for yourself. The argument should be against what the fundamental beliefs are. EGW did not write any fundamental belief of the church

      Question 1 - is the Sabbath the seal of God?
      Question 2 - is the historical understanding of Sabbath being ceremonial (pre Constantine wrong)
      Question 3 - what did Paul mean by being "absent from the body means presence with the Lord" that is different from a dualistic understanding of human nature
      Question 4 - is eating pork wrong for gentile Christians
      Question 5 - why has the understanding of the scale goat changed from representing Jesus to representing Satan
      Question 6 - why is Micheal called Christ when in Daniel it says that he is one of the "chief princes" I assume if he is one of, that means that there are more? Which is the traditional Christian understanding. I e. It makes more sense to not identify him with Christ.
      7. Is not giving tithe sin?
      I guess what I am saying is that while I was Adventist I didn't understand how much we think is influenced by e.g. white and her contemporaries. But please tell me why Adventist understanding of these concepts are now accurate than the whole of Christian history until now.

      @@Sora-yq1td Lets deal with Question 1 - is the Sabbath the seal of God?
      Yes, the Sabbath is the seal of God.
      Why is the Sabbath the seal of God? Let's notice first the work of the Holy Spirit.
      {Ephesians 1:13} - In whom all of you also trusted, after that all of you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that all of you believed, all of you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
      {Ephesians 4:30} - And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby all of you are sealed unto the day of redemption.
      Some suggest that the Holy Spirit is the seal. Actually it is the Holy Spirit that does the work of sealing you for Salvation.
      Now how does the Holy Spirit seal us? Notice these words:
      {1 Peter 1:2} - Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
      The word "elect" means chosen, selected. In other words, we are elected by "sanctification of the Spirit." The word sanctification or to sanctify means to be set apart or to be made holy. This process of sealing through sanctification is the sealing of God's people. Sanctification means obedience to God. Notice these verses:
      {2 Timothy 2:19} - Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
      {2 Timothy 2:21} - If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
      So notice that the "having this seal" means you are His. Everyone who uses the name of Christ must depart from sin. That very process is called "Sanctification" which is explained in verse 21.
      The seal of God is done through the Holy Spirit's work of sanctification.
      {Romans 15:16} - That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
      What is the sign of Sanctification?
      {Ezekiel 20:12} - Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
      {Ezekiel 20:20} - And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that all of you may know that I am the LORD your God.
      So the work of the Holy Spirit is to sanctify (seal) us through obedience to His word. Thus those who obey God's word honours the Creator who said:
      {Exodus 20:8} - Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
      {Exodus 20:9} - Six days shall you labour, and do all your work:
      {Exodus 20:10} - But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates:
      {Exodus 20:11} - For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
      Now notice that the reason you will keep God's seventh day Sabbath is for no other reason than a thus says the Lord. Jesus said man should live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
      The fourth Commandment is the only commandment that states the name of God: LORD or Jehovah, His territory "heaven and earth" and his position or title as Creator.
      Man is the author of Sunday and just because they put a good spin to it doesn't mean it's authorized from God. Keep God's law because you love Him John 14:15.

      Than denounce Ellen G white as the false prophet that she was. Denounce the false Gospel of Scapegoat theory and investigative judgement. Denounce the stance that Christian who worship on Sunday is the mark of the beast. Denounce Ellen's racism of "Amalgamation " how she thought black people were a product of humans and animals mating and how she thought interracial marriage was the reason for the flood.

      I wrote this in another post. I hope you find it well.
      I am in the midst of leaving the SDA church, where I have been a member for the past 17 years. I have good memories of the people there, and many of them are my friends and will still be when I leave. I know that the majority of SDA laymen you meet are basically Saturday Christians who are unaware of the history.
      The SDA church has moved towards more mainstream positions, especially after their conversation with evangelicals. SDAs are now orthodox on the trinity and have an Arminian understanding of salvation. They do not accept a creed and claim to follow all of God's laws. Historically, they have not always been trinitarian, and this is reflected in some of the founders' views.
      Currently, there is always tension between progressive Adventists (more traditional Christians) and Traditionalists (more believing in heterodox views). The traditionalist (in my opinion) is the extreme section of SDA, and a good portion of SDAs fit this description. Sadly, the current SDA president is one of these people. It is like (though people may not like me saying this) they hold Ellen white more tightly. They are likely to be the people who say the same spirit spoke to the prophets of old and the apostles and their writings. Consequently, they hold Ellen white to their standard. They then subsequently see it as a moral imperative to become vegans, claim that the bible commands against drinking wine, have very modest dress sense and believe that the gift of prophecy is Ellen white. However, this may get disguised as the gift of prophecy is the holy spirit manifested in the writings of Ellen white.
      It is true that Adventists say they do not hold her writings at the same level as the Bible. But if we are all honest, this is a somewhat disingenuous claim. While people say that Ellen White supports the Bible, when you present a contradiction, a person is typically corrected by how Ellen White and her contemporaries understood a bible text. So, a person explains away what would be contradictions into a "correct understanding." The "sanctuary message" falls into that camp. When you discover that the word used for "cleansed" in scripture (KJV) is better translated to "restored" and does not refer to the day of atonement in Leviticus, you see this.
      Anyway,
      People (in my opinion) get swayed by Seventh-day Adventism because they tend to be quite conservative and seem to be Christians who take their faith seriously. However, people get lost (in my opinion) in accepting the Adventist understanding of the Law of God and especially the 10 commandments. After this, all of the other heterodox (sometimes cultist beliefs) are absorbed wholesale. Sanctuary message, clean and unclean foods, soul sleep, tithe. (These are proof texted).
      The Adventist's understanding of Law and how other Christians understand it is very different. The Adventists claim that the Ten Commandments are God's moral law. The idea is this: The fourth commandment is part of it. The seventh day is indeed Saturday. And it is true: There is no scripture or Bible passage that says the new Sabbath day is Sunday. Then, everything else gets added. "Who changed the day?" The Adventists claim "Who changed the day?" The Sabbath will be a "worldwide test", and the third angel's message.
      Due to this understanding, they see people worshipping on Sunday as man's day (pagan day) and believe that the Sabbath will be a worldwide test. Sunday worship will be enforced , and everyone who worships on Sunday after understanding the biblical Sabbath will have had the mark of the beast. (You cannot get to this position without Ellen White and other contemporaries of hers.) The Adventist claim of the Bible alone falls down here.
      The problem is that this reading and understanding of scripture is wrong. This freed me from staying an adventist.
      Firstly, the Adventists' understanding of the fourth commandment is wrong. It is a ceremonial/ritual law, not a moral law. This needs to be unpacked, so Adventists in the comments, please read the below train of thought.
      1. The Ten Commandments are not called God's moral law anywhere in the Bible. This is a later development. The Adventist claim that it is written by the finger of God, which makes it moral is a claim and not scripture.
      Other Protestant reformers do call it this (moral law); however, there is a big caveat. They also kept the historical view of the fourth commandment and how other moral commands (outside of the 10) were viewed. They did not have the Adventist view. Please read what Luther thought about Law and Gospel and what Calvin thought. It is very different from how Adventists view not only law but also church and communion. We tend not to read what they thought but are told what they thought.
      2. There are moral laws outside of the Ten Commandments-this is uncontroversial.
      Proof? When In the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Jesus said, "You have heard...." He went through murder, adultery, oaths, divorce, eye for and eye etc. It's the same opening for all of them. Jesus saw them all coming from the same lawgiver.
      3. If there are moral laws outside of the Ten Commandments, then why can there not be a ceremonial law within them?
      Once this is understood, the Adventist understanding of law comes crashing down. Jesus' view of the laws included the Jewish understanding of the 613 commandments. Yes, these included moral, ceremonial, etc, but Adventists classifying the 10 as moral is not how Jesus viewed them.
      Adventists also claim that the Law of Moses differed from the Law of God. The Law of God is the Ten Commandments, while the Law of Moses is the ceremonial laws. Again, this is reading into the text what Adventists want you to see.
      Luke 2:39, "when they had performed everything according to the law of the Lord." - what did they perform? Which law of the lord are they following? was any of it the 10 commandments or was it other laws?
      4. Jesus seemed to view the sabbath as ceremonial law.
      Jesus comparing breaking the sabbath with Circumcision and showbread indicates this.
      5. History (not the Adventist view of history) goes against Adventist claims.
      Justin's martyr, (dialogue with Trypho) showed the common understanding that the Sabbath and other ceremonial laws were commanded at Sinai and people like Noah and Enoch were not keeping the Sabbath.
      Jews, both ancient and current, agree with this understanding and believe they were commanded to keep the Sabbath at Sinai. (The Adventist claim that this law was commanded in Genesis is not supported by history, and they are reading this into the text.)
      Yes, the majority of Jewish Christians still kept the Sabbath, but not the Gentile ones. History shows this.
      6. The common understanding is that Gentile Christians were freed from the ceremonial aspects of the law.
      Hence, the Jerusalem council found in acts freed gentiles from circumcision, dietary requirements, sabbath keeping, etc., understanding that many of these things were fulfilled in Christ.
      7. The sabbath was not changed with Constantine, as SDA claims.
      Historical records show that people worshipped on Sunday before him (see Justin Martyr, the Didache, and Tertullian). Sunday is not the new sabbath! Our Sabbath rest is in Christ (read Hebrews). The historical position has been non-Sabbatarianism following Colossians 2:17. Even Samuele Bacchiocchi concedes this is the understanding. This understanding, I believe, will free Adventists. If you want a detailed review of the history, please read From Sabbath to Lord's Day by D.A Carson.
      8. Sunday Sabbatarian stems from Puritans. Please research this.
      This, more than anything, I believe, has influenced Adventist thinking.
      9. "Keepers of the flame" is wrong history!
      Self explanatory.
      10. Adventist scholars are critical of Ellen white
      Adventist scholars are critical of Ellen White's claims, such as Donald McAdams and his book "Ellen White and the Historians: A Neglected Problem and a Forgotten Answer," where he explores Ellen white's historical errors. Or there is the "case by Casebolt", which looks at the erroneous prophecies. There are more of these types of books by Adventists, but the institution (in my opinion) is afraid that if more people are aware of this stuff like the "1919 bible conference", the whole denomination will come crashing down.
      I do want to end by saying that for the majority of people you meet, this would not be what you see on the ground. However, Adventist theology has a lot of error mixed with truth, which has led me out of that organisation. I feel sad for the people still in it because the theology may, at times, ruin people's lives. I have only touched the surface.

      The righteous receive immortality at the second coming. “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-54) “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.” “For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?” “The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.” “For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.” “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit [“breath”] shall return unto God who gave it.” “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” “For as the body without the spirit [“breath”] is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.” “For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,” “These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.” “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” “Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” “And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” The Bible is very clear about what happens after death. (Isaiah 8:19-20) (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) (John 11:23-27) (John 11:11-14) (Acts 2:34) (Acts 2:29) (James 2:26) (Genesis 3:19) (Ecclesiastes 12:7) (Isaiah 38:18) (Psalms 6:5) (Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) (Psalms 115:17)
      Looking at it more specifically as a sleep the Bible says, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which SLEEP in Jesus will God bring with him.” “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are ASLEEP, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” Are you conscious when you are sleep? You say the dead are in heaven with the angels of God. The Bible says, “The body without the spirit [“breath”] is dead”. “For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?” “The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.” “For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.” “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit [“breath”] shall return unto God who gave it.” “For as the body without the spirit [“breath”] is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.” “For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,”
      Concerning hell fire the Bible says, “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts." “Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.” “Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” “The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” “Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.” “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8) (Matthew 18:8) (Isaiah 33:14) (Matthew 3:12) (Psalms 21:8-10) (Malachi 4:1-3)
      2 Thessalonians 1:8,9 “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power” They will be destroyed with everlasting fire, that will bring everlasting destruction. Sodom was destroyed with “eternal fire”. (Jude 1:7) “Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” God told Adam and Eve in Genesis 2:17 that if they disobeyed Him and ate from the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil that they would “surely die”, meaning cease to exist with no awareness or life after death. In Genesis 3:4 Satan as a snake plainly lied! Satan is saying that the wicked after death will still have eternal life in hell, they really won’t die. By the way some Buddhist believe that people are reincarnated into cows after death.
      William Tyndale, a leader of the protestant reformation and the translator of a large portion of the Bible into English said, “Ye, in putting them in Heaven, hell, and purgatory, destroy the argument wherewith Christ and Paul prove the resurrection.” “If the souls be in Heaven, tell me why they be not in as good case as the angels be? And then what cause is there of the resurrection?”

Though people may not like me saying this, they hold Ellen white more tightly and many see her writings as scripture or her way of interpreting scripture as correct. They are likely to be the people who say something like "the same spirit who spoke to the prophets in the old and new testaments and the apostles also spoke to Ellen White."
    They then subsequently see it as a moral imperative to become vegans or plant-based, say that the Bible condemns drinking wine, and have a very modest dress sense, to the point of not liking men with long hair. They believe that the gift of prophecy mentioned in revelation is Ellen White. However, this may get disguised as the gift of prophecy being the Holy Spirit manifested in the writings of Ellen White.
    It is true that Adventists broadly say they do not hold her writings at the same level as the Bible. But if we are all honest, this is a somewhat disingenuous claim. While Adventists say that Ellen White supports the Bible, when you present a contradiction, a person is typically corrected by how Ellen White and her contemporaries understood a bible text.

    For example, the "sanctuary message" falls into that camp. When you discover that the word used for "cleansed" in scripture is better translated to "restored" and does not refer to the day of atonement in Leviticus, but the rededication of the temple, you see this.

    The Adventist's understanding of Law and how other Christians understand it is very different. The Adventists claim that the Ten Commandments are God's moral law.

(You cannot get to this position without Ellen White and other contemporaries of hers.) The Adventist claim of the Bible alone falls down here.
    The problem is that this reading and understanding of scripture is wrong. This freed me from staying an adventist.
    Firstly, the Adventists' understanding of the fourth commandment is wrong. It is a ceremonial/ritual law, not a moral law. This needs to be unpacked, so Adventists in the comments, please read the below train of thought.
    1. The Ten Commandments are not called God's moral law anywhere in the Bible. This is a later development. The Adventist claim that it is written by the finger of God, which makes it moral is a claim and not scripture.
    Other Protestant reformers do call it this (moral law); however, there is a big caveat. They also kept the historical view of the fourth commandment and how other moral commands (outside of the 10) were viewed. They did not have the Adventist view. Please read what Luther thought about Law and Gospel and what Calvin thought. It is very different from how Adventists view not only law but also church and communion. We tend not to read what they thought but are told what they thought.
    2. There are moral laws outside of the Ten Commandments-this is uncontroversial.
    Proof? When In the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Jesus said, "You have heard...." He went through murder, adultery, oaths, divorce, eye for and eye etc. It's the same opening for all of them. Jesus saw them all coming from the same lawgiver.
    3. If there are moral laws outside of the Ten Commandments, then why can there not be a ceremonial law within them?
    Once this is understood, the Adventist understanding of law comes crashing down. Jesus' view of the laws included the Jewish understanding of the 613 commandments. Yes, these included moral, ceremonial, etc, but Adventists classifyin the 10 as moral is not how Jesus viewed them.
    Adventists also claim that the Law of Moses differed from the Law of God. The Law of God is the Ten Commandments, while the Law of Moses is the ceremonial laws. Again, this is reading into the text what Adventists want you to see.
    Luke 2:39, "when they had performed everything according to the law of the Lord." - what did they perform? Which law of the lord are they following? was any of it the 10 commandments or was it other laws?
    4. Jesus seemed to view the sabbath as ceremonial law.
    Jesus comparing breaking the sabbath with Circumcision and showbread indicates this.
    5. History (not the Adventist view of history) goes against Adventist claims.
    Justin's martyr, (dialogue with Trypho) showed the common understanding that the Sabbath and other ceremonial laws were commanded at Sinai and people like Noah and Enoch were not keeping the Sabbath.
    Jews, both ancient and current, agree with this understanding and believe they were commanded to keep the Sabbath at Sinai. (The Adventist claim that this law was commanded in Genesis is not supported by history, and they are reading this into the text.)
    Yes, the majority of Jewish Christians still kept the Sabbath, but not the Gentile ones. History shows this.
    6. The common understanding is that Gentile Christians were freed from the ceremonial aspects of the law.
    Hence, the Jerusalem council found in acts freed gentiles from circumcision, dietary requirements, sabbath keeping, etc., understanding that many of these things were fulfilled in Christ.
    7. The sabbath was not changed with Constantine, as SDA claims.
    Historical records show that people worshipped on Sunday before him (see Justin Martyr, the Didache, and Tertullian). Sunday is not the new sabbath! Our Sabbath rest is in Christ (read Hebrews). The historical position has been non-Sabbatarianism following Colossians 2:17. Even Samuele Bacchiocchi concedes this is the understanding. This understanding, I believe, will free Adventists. If you want a detailed review of the history, please read From Sabbath to Lord's Day by D.A Carson.
    8. Sunday Sabbatarian stems from Puritans. Please research this.
    This, more than anything, I believe, has influenced Adventist thinking.
    9. "Keepers of the flame" is wrong history!
    Self explanatory.
    10. Adventist scholars are critical of Ellen white
    Adventist scholars are critical of Ellen White's claims, such as Donald McAdams and his book "Ellen White and the Historians: A Neglected Problem and a Forgotten Answer," where he explores Ellen white's historical errors. Or there is the "case by Casebolt", which looks at the erroneous prophecies. There are more of these types of books by Adventists, but the institution (in my opinion) is afraid that if more people are aware of this stuff like the "1919 bible conference", the whole denomination will come crashing down.
    I do want to end by saying that for the majority of people you meet, this would not be what you see on the ground. However, Adventist theology has a lot of error mixed with truth, which has led me out of that organisation. I feel sad for the people still in it because the theology may, at times, ruin people's lives. I have only touched the surface.

    About 1 month ago, a person approached me who noticed I had "Jesus is the way the truth and the life on my car". He asked if I was a true believer. He asked if I was those church goers on Sunday and not Saturday. So he started telling me about why its important to go on Saturdays, Their founder White, SDA, and some of the history that the current gentlemen discussed on this channel. The man prayed with me. He wanted my number to send daily devotionals. So, for the past 30 days, he has been sending me pages from the founder Whites books along with scripture. After talking to the guys . I asked God to lead me because the church Im currently going to I felt God led me, but when this SDA member told me I should serve on Saturdays and the history of SDA, I was uncomfortable. I feel there is some true here from this topic because of being approached by someone who is sending me the doctines they currently learning from. If this post wasn't for you guys, it was definitely for me to know what he is sending isn't of God. It was very helpful for me.

I’m praying that God will send an adventist to defend the faith so clearly that you will understand what we believe before you continue to post such content this is damaging and untrue to what we believe. May God defend the truth that you will be convicted of it rather than just hearing man’s opinions this is my prayer in jesus name Amen.

      This was not a discussion; it was a hit piece aimed at slandering members of the Seventh-day Adventist faith. By labeling us a cult and misrepresenting our beliefs, they engaged in character assassination rather than constructive dialogue. It's akin to publicly branding someone a racist based on a false or twisted narrative, then suggesting a discussion afterward. The damage is done, and the harmful labels are what most people will remember. Rom 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

    I would like to see both sides represented in this discussion but it was made clear in the episode that Sda pastors were invited but declined or ignored the invitation. Also I don't understand why this is being interpreted as bashing. The point is to figure out whether the beliefs of the Sda church agree with the bible or not. They are either biblical or are not. It's not about bashing anyone even if they get offended in the process.
    A works-based gospel is not biblical and the word "cult" has been used to describe groups who believe this. It's not always the super extreme people who are called cults.
    Some may say that the claims are outdated but the problem is you can't act on two contradictory beliefs. If you believe you are saved by grace through faith and not your works, you CANNOT believe Jesus is judging your works to either save or damn you like the investigative judgement says. That would mean you are saved by work either fully or partially, neither if which are biblical. Galatians makes this clear. You have to drop one or the other. Whether it be the sabbath as the seal to guarantee your place in heaven or anything else besides your faith in Christ. It just doesn't go together. Furthermore, if those beliefs aren't found in scripture that should be an immediate problem for anyone calling themselves a Christian.

The perry's arent the first creators who invited sdas on to present their side and were declined. They did the same to Answering Adventism and he showed all the receipts on video. Thus, I'm inclined to believe the same happened in this instance. Could be wrong but I know they tend to run away from people who know scripture enough to see through the double speak.
      If that pastor is being truthful I look forward to hopefully seeing him on the next episode.
